UNITED STATES 'PATENT Orrlcn EUGENE T. SPECHT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ERNEST A. EASTMAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming' part Of Letters Patent No. '70 5,620, dated July 29, 1902. Application filed January 2, 1902. Serial No. 88,101. (No model.)
To cr/ZZ whom, t muy concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE T. SPECHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chi cago, in the countyofuCook and State of Illinois, have inventedfcertain new vand useful Improvements in Buckles, of which the following is a specification. p
My invention is concerned with a novel and useful buckle designed primarily for use on Suspenders vand similar articles, and is designed to produce abuckle that is constructed without teeth, yet which will grip the webbing, whether elastic or inelastic, so firmly that the buckle will not slide along the webbing under any stress that may be applied thereto in ordinary use.
To illustrate my invention, I annex hereto a sheet ot' drawings, in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all the figures, of which- Figure lis a front elevation of a suspenderend having my buckle employed thereon.V
Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of said buckle detached. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation on the samescale. Figli is a central longitudinal'section on the line A A of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section thereof on the line B B of Fig. 3.
I have shown my invention as applied to that form of'suspender in which the webbing o passes through the buckle b, thence through the tab connection c, and is brought back to form a loop and has a hook member CZ on its end which cooperates with the lowermost cross-piece of the buckle to hold the loop in place. By this construction the webbing can be adjusted to the desired eiective length, and the connection herein shown can be readily operated as a cast-oit when it is desired to release the tab connection c and the tab c from the main strap or webbing a.
The buckle b, which forms vthe subject-matter of the present invention, consists of a sheet of metal, preferably stamped into the form shown, which will be seen to be made up of the vertical end pieces f and g, which are connected by the three horizontal cross-pieces 7L, j, and 7c, the 'result being that the buckle has two horizontal slots therein between the three cross-pieces. The lowermostcross-piece 7c is plain and is adapted to have the hook (l fitted thereover. The middle cross-piece j has its upper and lower edges inclined or bent outward through its operative portion, so that it is practically a portion of a circle in cross-section. The upper cross-piece his plain and iiat in form, but has its lower edge bent inwardor rearwardly, as seen at Z. Its lower edge is preferablyalso cut on vthe arc of a circle, with its central portion projecting down nearly to the horizontal plane occupied by the upper edge of the cross-piecej, so that the webbing a, when passed therethrough, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig.' et, is forced to take such an abrupt turn in passing over the upper edge of the middle cross-piecej and under the lower edge of the top cross-piece Zthat it is practically impossible to displace the buckle relative to the strap by a direct pull thereon lengthwise of the strap. In order to move the buckle relative to the strap, it is necessary to bend the strap over so as to over come the clamping effect of the upper edge of the middle cross-piece and the lower edge of the upper cross-piece.
To strengthen the end portions f and g, as well as to hold the buckle squarely across the strap a, I provide said end portions fand g with the rearwardlyprojecting anges m, which form the extreme outer sides of the buckle, as shown.
In addition tothe two main slots formed transversely of the buckle I have shown in the drawings another shorter slot above them, which forms no part of my present invention and which can be used for any desired purpose, such as for attaching thereto a-small strap, which can be seized more readily than the buckle itself whenit is desired to move the same along the strap.
. IVhile I have `shown my invention as cinbodied vin the form which I at present consider best adapted to carry out its purpose, it will be understood that it is capable of some moditications and that I do not desire to be limited in the interpretation of the following claims, except asmay be necessitated by the state of the prior art.
That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, iisl. A buckle adapted to cooperate with a strap and consisting of the vertical sid es con- ICO nected by the three. horizontal cross-pieces forming two horizontal slots between them, the upper edge of the middle cross-piece being inclined outwardly, and the lower edge of the top cross-piece being inclined inwardly and having the central portion thereof extending farther down than the ends thereof so as to reduce the width of the upper slot in its central portion; substantially as` and for the purpose described.
2. A buckle adapted to coperote with a strap and consistingr of the vertical sides having the inwardly-turned edges connected by the three horizontal cross-pieces, the edges of the middle cross-piece being inclined outwardly, and the lower edge of the top crosspiece beinginclined inwardly and having the central portion thereof extending farther down than its ends; substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. A buckle adapted to coperate with a strap and consisting of the vertical sides provided with strengthening means and connected by the three horizontal cross-pieces, the
edges of the middle cross-piece being inclined outwardly, and the edge of the top cross-piece being inclined inwardly and having the central portion thereof extending farther down than its ends; substantially as and for the purpose described.
4. A buckle adapted to coperate with a strap and consisting of the vertical sides connected by the three horizontal cross-pieces forming two horizontal slots between them, the upper and lower edges of the middle crosspiece being inclined outwardly, and the lower edge of the top cross-piece being inclined inwardly and having the central portion thereof extending farther down than the ends thereof` so as to reduce the width of the upper slot in its central portion; substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EUGENE T. SPECHT.
